WrestleMania XL was good for The Latino World Order. Rey Mysterio and Andrade took down Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio. Since then, though, things haven't been quite so hot.

A kayfabe downer for the group was the reveal that Carlito was Dragon Lee's previously unknown assailant in an attack that kept him out of that WrestleMania match, meaning two members of the group were down. From a reality perspective, it was disappointing to see Lee sidelined, instead of getting that big moment at The Showcase of the Immortals, and losing Carlito meant The LWO no longer had its best talker.

Then, Cruz Del Toro suffered an injury right after, getting surgery on April 18, which will undoubtedly put him on the shelf for the next several months.

WWE also mostly decided to sweep Joaquin Wilde under the rug in the meantime to coincide with his tag team partner's absence, as he hasn't wrestled since losing to Ridge Holland on the April 16 edition of NXT.

Somehow, LWO's numbers have dwindled from a robust seven, to just three, while making more enemies along the way and achieving nothing of note in the past two months.
